Get the ignit mug.a practically useless word created to distinguish initials from acronyms.
the word was crafted to ensure that those who do not subscribe to the concept are made to feel ridiculous when they have to ask "what is an initialism?"

Nate: New York was great, we went on a tour of the Yune and met the Secretary-General.
Trav: Nate, it's not called the Yune, it's called the U.N., it's an initialism for United Nations
Nate: Oh.... what the fuck is an initialism?
Trav: You're an idiot everyone knows an initialsm is when you say the letters - like U.N.
Nate: Isn't that basically an acronym?
Trav: No you tool. An acronym is when you make the initials of something into a new word, like NASA. They're two TOTALLY different things.
Sayran: Oh Trav - you're too smart for me!

Get the inniter mug.
Abreviation of isn't it (Is it not)
"Innit" is put at the end of a question or statement meaning either:
- Do you agree?
or
- Are you following me/Do you understand?
"Innit has classically been added at the end of a sentence that contains the verb "to be", as "ISn't it" obviously refers back to a conjugation of the this verb. (See example 1.)
These days though, "innit" can be used eventhough the verb in the main sentence is not a form of "to be". (See example 2)

Get the innit mug.Derives from the chav/townie/pikey sub-culture, but falsely over-labbeled on the British Asian Communities. Innit is a shortened version of is it not, in context, it would be "is it not?" which we can see is a question due to the required question mark and change in the pitch of the voice to indicate a question is being asked. Chavs, however, due to their lack of education (zero GCSEs) and ignorance towards learning English at school because "i already speaks it, innit", tend to, more often than not, use the term innit when a statement has been used, rather than a question.
Linguists and scientists have studied chav language and have determined the following:
1) they have tried to invent their own language
2) this is because they do no understand standard English
3) they use their "pikey-speak" to communicate with other like chavs
4) they speak in a pattern:
5) (noun), (obscene word), (verb), (subject), (innit)!
6) the pattern of speech repeats itself
7) the order may be altered according to IQ of the chav
